Lube
Water-based lube washes away with water. It tends to dry out faster during sex, but you can always use more or use spit or water to rehydrate. Water-based lube is OK to use with sex toys.
Silicone-based lube lasts longer during sex, and does not wash away easily with water so clean up can be more difficult. Silicone lube can stain sheets and damage silicone-based toys.
FAQs
A condom is a thin piece of material worn on a penis during sex that blocks HIV and many sexually-transmitted infections. Condoms made of latex rubber are the most common, but if you have a latex allergy, condoms made out of a thin plastic (polyurethane or polyisoprene) are manufactured.
Condoms can also be used on sex toys, too. Depending on the type of sex toy, it is important to know if the condom is lubricated with silicone or water-based lube–as silicone-based lube can damage silicone toys. Hard plastic toys can be used with any type of lube or condom.
Water-based and silicone-based lubes are safe to use with latex condoms. Avoid any oil-based lubricants (like massage oils, baby oil or Vaseline-brand petroleum jelly) because these can cause condoms to break.
Great question. The first step to putting a condom on properly is to check the expiration date on the package to make sure the condom isn’t expired. This video from Planned Parenthood for a get step-by-step guide offers a solid demonstration of how to put on a condom properly.
